New Apple Pest Spreading in
Pennsylvania.
The orchard inspectors of the Divi-
sion of Zoology, of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture, under the
direction of of Prof. H. A. Surface,
Zoologist, are reporting considerable
extention of the area over which the
new apple pest known as the Apple
seed chalcis, is spreading and doing
very remarkable damage to the apple
crop of this State. It is found now
abundantly and extensively in the
northern part of Pennsylvania from
the extreme western to the extreme
eastern part of the state, and most
seriously infesting t adjoining states
of Ohio, New York and New Jersey.
While this is a very small wasplike
insect not half as large as the House
fly, yet it has been so destructive to
the apple crop, in many orchards in
the northern half of Pennsylvania,
that the inspectors have written to
Prof. Surface saying, ‘‘The Apple
seed chalis is doing more damage and
spreading in its area each year. It is
now found to be a pest fully as de.
structive as the Codling moth, which
has destroyed hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of fruit annually in
this State.” i !
The Apple seed chaleis is nt liable
to be known or recognized as readily
among fruit growers by the appear-
ance of the small black adult, wasp-
like insect, as this is not seen nor
recognized as frequently as are the
results of its presence. This pest at-
tacks fruit by laying its eggs in the
seeds, and in these the young larvae
or maggots live or feed, and cause the
fruit to become stunted, misshapen
and abnormal. It is unfit for use on
the market because so dwarfed and
There may be some good
apples on the same trees or in the
same region, or all the fruit of the.
tree may be dwarfed or ruined by this
pest, or, in some cases a portion of
the apple may be infested, and the
other may be good. Thedwarfed and
deformed fruits are too often supposed
to be due to other inseets, such as
Aphids or Plant lice, starvation, dry
of the trees. If the apples were cut
accross with a sharp khife, and the
present, would be inside of them dur-
ing the fall or winter. This will read-
ily tell the story, and the owner can
thus see for himself what has been
the cause of the injury. It is very
important for all apple growers to
watch for this pest by cutting open
the small and deformed apples in the
fall of the year, opening the seeds and |
seeing if it is present. If so, all such
apples should be destroyed by any
means possible.
It is advisable to pasture either
sheep or hogs in an orchard to destroy
the fallen fruit, or to make them into
cider or feed them to pigs, and espec-
ial attention should be given to the
seeding or old apple trees growing
along fences, or in woods or thickets,
where the fruit is not liable to be
gathered. These trees are really
breeders of pests and diseases, and
may prove to be a constant source of
supply and an enemy of cultivated
trees. All such trees should be cut
down.
Professor Surface and his inspectors
have reared this insect in cages in-
doors, and it has been proven, first by
Inspector Bullock, of Wayne county,
that the insect passes the winter
within the apple seeds in fallen
apples, and also within those that
may remain hanging on the trees. It
does not come forth until late in the
spring, and this gives abundant oppor-
tunity for its destruction by the com-
plete destruction of fallen fruit as di-
rected above.
Unfortunately, the Division of Zool-
ogy has not yet been able to obtain
an efficient parasite to destroy this
pest, as in the remarkable case of
its work with the effective parasite of
the San Jose scale. Spraying this
garticular pest is also out of the ques-
tion, and as this is the time of year to
determine its presence and to get rid
of it, allapple growers, if owning only
a single tree, should give attention to
the practical information herein con-
tained.

SLAYER SAYS
HE KILLED 14
Harry Spencer Astounds Chi-
cago Police by His Revelations
A MURDERER FOR REVENUE
Slayer of Tango Teacher Says He
Killed His First Woman Years Ago
—Ten Victims in Last Thirteen
Months—Most of Them Women.
Chicago.—Mrs. Mildred Allison Rex-
roat, tango dancing teacher, who was
fot to death in Wheaton, Ill, a week
ago, was the victim of a murderer
who, by his own confession, had killed
thirteen others in as many years.
Henry Spencer, arrested in a room
rear the South -Side levee district,
ccnfessed that he not only killed Mrs.
Rexroat, but that he had slain four-
teen persons. .He ‘was positively iden-
tifed as the mysterious Mr. Spencer
with whom Mrs. Rexroat left Chi-
cago on the night she was killed.
Mrs. Rexroat’s blood-stained rattan
suit case was found in his room, as
was the revolver with which he said
he had killed her.
All of his murders except two, he
said, had been for the purposes of
robbery. The two, Policemen Pen-
nell and Devine, shot to death twelve
years ago, he said he killed to escape
being arrested.
“I intended to kill Mrs. J. A. Sco-
field, the proprietor of the rooming
house where I have been living,” he
said. :
The police explained that Spencer
was being permitted to tell his story
without interruptions or suggestions.
Spencer admitted that robbery was
his only purpose in killing Mrs. Rex-
roat.
He told the police that he had
killed ten persons since his last re-
lease from the Illinois State peniten-
tiary in September, 1912, and four,
a man and a woman, and Patrolman
Pennell and Devine before that.
Except in the slaying of the police-
men, who, Spencer said, were shot by
himself and a companion named Mur-
phy, in escaping arrest for burglary, |
the killings were all for purposes of
robbery. Following is the list of kill-
ings Spencer related to Chief of De-
tectives Halpin: 7

Outwardly fhere was no real oppo-
sition to the naming of these two
men, one of whom: is now a member
of the Court of Appeals and the other
a well known lawyer, heretofore in-
terested in many civic and philan-

didates, William E. Werner and Frank
H. Hiscock, but the leaders had made
up their minds to nominate a straight
ticket.

NEW TARIFF LAW

CURRENCY REFORM NEXT
.
Signed at 9:09 o’Clack, After Business
Transactions for the Day Were Over
—Dintinguished Audience at Cere-
mony—Gold Pens for the Authors.
Washington.—President Wilson at
9:09 o’clock P. M., signed the Under-
wood-Simmons Tariff bill, aiaking it
the law of the land. The brief cere-
mony took place in the office of the
President and in the presence of Cab-
inet members, members of the House
and Senate prominent in framing the
law and half a hundred newspaper
representatives.
The room was the same in which
President Taft on August 5, 1909,
signed the Payne-Aldrich Tariff law
now abrogated by the legislation
which the President made an act by
his signature.
With the last stroke of the Presi-
dent’s pen ending seven months of
continuous labor and many years of
agitation, the President arose, and
facing the friends whom he had in-
vited to witness the ceremony, de-
livered a remarkable speech.
In this address he served notice that
the Democratic party’s task was only
half completed, its journey but half
finished, and the currency legislation
must follow at this session of Con-
gress.
His signing of the tariff bill was
only the first step in the freeing of
American /business interests from the
shackles that had bound them. That
freedom, in his opinion will not be
complete until the power to create
monopoly has been destroyed, and
and this power is lodged in a control
of credit.
The signing of the new tariff law
took place in the Presidcnt’s office.
At nine o’clock those whom the Presi-
dent had invited to witness it passed
through the door of the office. The
President wearing a black dinner coat
shook hands heartily with each per-
son as he entered.
Those present included Majority
Leader Underwood, who had super-
vised the drafting of the bill and man-
aged the fight to put it through the’
House; Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina, who had performed the same
task in the Senate; the members of
the President’s Cabinet and their as-|
sistants, the Ways and Means Com:
mittee of the House, the Finance Com-
mittee of the Senate, Senator Kern,
Democratic leader of the Senate; the
President’s brother, Joseph L. Wilson, !
of Tennessee, and a number of espe
cially invited guests. :
Every person present seemed deep-
ly impressed with the importance of
the event abouc to take place.
The witnesses arranged themselves
in a circle about the President’s desk.’
To his left and just behind him stood:
Representative Underwood and Ser-|
ator Simmons. On the desk in front
black upon 111 sheets of parchment. |
It bore the signatures of Champ
Clark, Speaker of the House of Repre- |
sentatives, and Vice-President Mar
shall, the presiding officer of the Sen-
ate. These signatures were in the!
middle of the 111th page. The pages
bore a tiny red border and ‘were;
caught together by a nickel ring. Be- |
side the bill lay two gold pen staffs’
holding gold pens.
As the president stepped to his desk |
the room became silent. He cleared |
his throat, adjusted his glasses and
pulled back his desk chair as if to
sit down. Before taking his seat he
said: :
“I chose this hour for this cere-
mony after a consultation with the
Attorney-General. We wanted to be
certain that there would be no com-
plications. At this hour I believe the
business activities of the country
have been suspended, for I assume it
is five o'clock in San Francisco.”
As the President sat down he
looked at his watch and saw it was
ten minutes after 9 o'clock. He took
one pen, and in a full, heavy hand
wrote:
“Approved 9:10 p. m., 8 October,
1913.” Directly under this he next
“Woodrow.” Then he changed pens
and wrote “Wilson.”
The pen with which he had writ-
ten “Wilson” was more facile than
the first. The last name was written
more heavily. The second pen he
handed to Mr. Underwood with a
bow.
“I thank you, Mr. President, for
this valuable souvenir,” said Mr.
Underwood very seriously.
The President handed the first pen
to Senator Simmons, who said:
“I thank you, Mr. President, for
myself and for the State of North
Carolina.”
Secretary of State Bryan, his face
showing deep emotion, stepped for-
ward. He took the President’s hand
and said a few words which could
not be heard. But Mr. Bryan showed
in every line of his face that he was
happy.
Executive Clerk Rudolph Forster
took charge of the bill after it was
signed. Shortly’ afterwards he gave
it into the hands of Ben. G. Davis, the
chief clerk of the State Department,
who receipted for it. The bill was]
taken to the State Department which
is the official repository for the laws
SAFE-CUARDING
BIG ROAD LOAN
Not More Than $5,000,000 to
Bz Spant In Any One Yaar.
T0 PLEDGE THE CANDIDATES
Pennsylvania Good Roads Association
Is Already Preparing to Urge Upon
Legislature Enactment of Proper
Enabling Laws For Carrying Out
Proposed Highway Program.
Looking forward to the approval of
the $50,000,000 state road loan at the
November elections, the Pennsylvania
Good Roads Associations already out-
lining a campaign for the passage of a
law, by the legislature of 1915 limiting
the expenditure from this fund to $5,
000,000 in any one year.
The association realizes that proper
enabling legislation is almost as im-
portant as the loan itself, and it is al-
ready preparing to make the limiting
of expenditure the big issue of the elec-
tions next fall wherever members of
the house and senate or state officers
having to do with the highway depart-
ment are to be elected. Every candi-
date for the legislature will be asked
whether or not he favors such a law,
so that the voters will know in ad-
‘vance exactly where he stands.
The association holds that $5,000,000
a year, in addition to such sums as are
set aside from current revenues for
the uses of the highway department,
will constitute as much money as will
be necessary to carry out a systematic,
economic ard practical campaign for
first class road construction.
The association sets forth its posi-
tion on the road loan and the proposed
legislaticn in the following address to
the people of the state:-
Tc the People of Pennsylvania—
The Pennsylvania Good Roads Asso-
ciation commends to the favorable con-
sideration of the voters the proposed
amendment to the constitution to per-
mit the state to issue bonds not ex-
ceeding $50,000,000 for the construc-
tion of highways. This amendment has
been adopted by two legislatures and
now requires only the approval of a
majority at the polls in the November
election of 1913.
Issuance of bonds is an approved
method of financing large enterprises,
both public and private. The consti:
tution of Pennsylvania grants to all
municipalities the rizht to bond them-
selves for such purpo-es. Cities ani
towns generally avail themselves of
this efficient and economic methcd ol
providing funds for public works. The
proposed amendment would extend a
like privilege to the state itself in a
limited degree and for a speocific p u-
pose.
The need is impera‘ive. Enlighten gd
public sentiment demands cood road .
Pennsylvania is far behind m nv o!
her sister siates in meeting this de
mand. Repeated experience h2s show:
that legislatures cannot be depende’
on to resist the demands for aporo
priations for public and private char
ities to such an extent as to permit of
adequate support for road building out
of the general revenues. A bond issue
offers the only alternative. The state
is out of debt. It can borrow an abun-
dance of money at low interest. Re-
payment of the loan through the ac-
cumulation of a sinking fund and its
interest earnings during a long period
| of years. will impose no serious bur-
den on the revenues. Farms and other
real estate will not be called upon to
pay a dollar of this, because there is
and can be no state tax on real estate
in Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Good Roads As:
sociation is in favor not only of the
bond issue, but of a conservative and
well-ordered method of issuing these
bonds and expending the proceeds
thereof. Should the bond issue Je ap-
proved by the voters in November, no
money would be available until the
legislature had passed and the gov-
ernor approved an enabling act to car-
ry the constitutional amendment into
effect. The legislature and the gover-
nor upon whom this duty would de
volve are to be nominated at the popu:
lar primaries next spring and elected
the following November. The people
will be in a position to demand of all
candidates assurance of how they will
deal §yith the expenditure of the road
funds.
This association will urge upon all
candidates and upon the incoming
state administration and legislature
taking office in January, 1915, the pas-
sage of an enabling act that will pro-
es for the issuing of the bonds in
amounts not to exceed $5,000,000 a
year, so as to produce only so much
money as may be necessary in addi-
tion to appropriations from the cur-
rent revenues to carry out a syste-
matic, economical and practical cam-
aign of first class highway construc-
ion. The best efforts of an association
of representative citizens of all shaders
of political belief and all walks of life
are pledged to this end.
